Wouldn't him revealing this kind of information to people be a major violation of HIPAA? Inb4 internet detectives get your brother fired :lol:


They've already said it's a small tear and that he's day-to-day, i.e. that it's not super serious.


ths sixers will say literally anything to squeeze as much money as possible out the situation. This is the team that two times in three years held back important injury information until the day after season ticket renewals were due. No idea why Morey wanted to come work for this this snake infested ownership group.

I want to stand with you but just googled it and ish definitely looks like a bird of prey. Sharp beak, couple other sharp curves/slant (the eyes and the neck feather). Looks pretty dangerous and bad ass, no Pacman vibes in sight.

Hawks in 6. You heard it first. Embiid's injury limits him, Simmons gets exposed when called on to be the go to guy. Take this to the BANK. Collins is gonna have a monster series, Bogdanovic and Gallo get going more than last series.

It doesn't exactly look like pac-man, but it is affectionately referred to as the 'pac-man' logo in Hawks circles.

Squint and you will see it, but some you are really late to the party. Hawks brought back the Pac in 2015.

I think they're planning to Miami 2018 Jo, aka holding him out for as long as they need to. He's been moving around quite a bit since his injury and I bet if it were a game seven he'd be out there playing. Interesting to see how we hold up without him for at least the first part of the series in Philadelphia.

Sixers in 6 if Embiid can play 30 mins a game.

Hawks in 6 or 7 if he can’t.

if Embiid isn't 100% I fully expect the Hawks to win this series

Simmons and Curry will be exposed for their weaknesses. One in half court offense and the other being switched on relentlessly

Love the Pac. I am old enough to remember Ms Pacman, Galaga, and Asteroids on machines at every pool room/bar in Atlanta :lol:

Now I can't unsee the Hawks logo as Pacman.

And Ms.Pacman was awesome, best game of that generation.

The thing that I really loved about the Hawks playoff debut against the Knicks was their composure. They looked like a vet playoff team. Trae just don't care and he gives his team a rare confidence

Hawks will win in 6 if Embiid isn’t healthy. Guess we’ll see. Philly outta be them if he is healthy.

I mean, I don’t doubt that people call it that, but that’s a fun nickname for it and not something it actually really looks like. Pac-Man is a very simple shape—and Pac Man himself looks like a grinning dope on it—and that just ain’t happening on the Hawks logo.

It’s like saying ‘are we not gonna talk about how Charles Barkley looks like a round mound of rebound?’ He looks like a regular human much more than a sphere-shaped lump, it’s just a cute nickname that hits on a few very vague exaggerated things and gives something fun to say instead of just ‘that logo.’ So to my eyes yeah that logo looks more like Pac-Man than most teams logos but no it doesn’t look like Pac-Man unless you really want it to.

Dunno, boss, I’ve listened to a couple podcasts that mentioned the series and that seems to be the consensus pick. I think you’re about a week late to calling that with any kind of claim to being first.

Also Simmons simply is not a go to guy, there’s no more ‘exposing’ that needs to happen about that. You’re 2 years behind the conversation if you’re thinking that’s a storyline. The real question is whether he can still get up to like 16-18 pts doing his regular thing in the flow of the offense; that hasn’t happened in some important series in the past but he has a good opportunity for it against the Hawks, could go either way and is a good test of his mentality and resolve these days. The go to guy test this round will be for Tobias Harris, and there are also big questions around how much Seth Curry, Shake Milton, and Ty Maxey can up their volume.

I don’t even think Sixers play Embiid this series. Maybe they’ll give it a go the first 2/3 games and see how that goes, play him if it’s really necessary and of course it he’s capable. Makes sense to rest him if Sixers can show early they can handle it and save him for next round. I think even without him Sixers in 6.
